PhotoJojo breaks down the how-to into 10 steps, the hardest for newbies being cutting out a pattern. After readying the fabric, it's all a matter of "painting" the fabric with Photo Fabric Dye and letting UV do its magic.

And as the video below shows, one doesn't have to limited to smaller personal items like a skirt or a pillowcase (though, I'd lean towards a pillowcase as an ideal 1st try project). Those with higher aspirations could upholster a whole armchair with personalized photos from your family archives...or perhaps you Instagram feed!
